The gameplay of Logiart Grimoire primarily revolves around traditional picross mechanics, which are well-executed and engaging. The introduction of a fusion mechanic, allowing players to combine solved puzzles to unlock new ones, adds a unique progression element, though opinions on its effectiveness vary, with some finding it fun and others viewing it as a minor annoyance. Overall, the game is praised for its smooth UI, charming presentation, and the rewarding nature of its puzzles, making it a solid choice for picross enthusiasts.
- “Puzzles are rewarding, the new fusion mechanic is fun and adds levels and a scope to the game that makes it feel like a video game and less like a digital puzzle book.”
- “Another big positive for this game is the really engaging new mechanic called fusion, which allows you to unlock new puzzles by combining other puzzles you have previously solved.”
- “The gameplay is faithful to the 'picross s' series and the addition of the 'fusion' functionality is very interesting.”
- “Picross is not a very complicated game mechanically, and the hints obviate any kind of challenge at all.”
- “He supplies no tangible gameplay mechanics and just seems like another bit of fluff on top of what is at the end of the day just another series of basic puzzles.”
- “With Pokémon Picross, there was an effort to incorporate elements of its theme into its gameplay, even including random encounters (sort of), but Logiart makes no such efforts.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking a looping feature, which detracts from the overall experience. While some tracks are deemed acceptable, there is a consensus that the soundtrack could benefit from more variety and a random play option. Overall, players suggest that the music serves as adequate background noise but does not enhance the gameplay significantly.
- “Lots of smooth and solid UI, good music, cute mascot character, minor logic puzzles in the fusion mechanic to give your brain a break from figuring out where dots go.”
- “I will probably say more once I have done all the puzzles, but the music so far hasn't been the greatest background noise, but it is good enough is where I would put it for now.”
- “My only gripe with the game in its current state is that it could use more music tracks, but even then the game is already worth picking up at this point in early access.”
- “Not sure why the music doesn't loop across the available tracks; this caused me to quickly turn it off and listen to my own.”
- “Second, the game inexplicably does not have a random option for background music.”
- “Although the game ships with a dozen songs, you have to manually go into options and change songs to get anything other than the default.”

The grinding aspect of [i]logiart grimoire[/i] is often described as tedious, particularly due to the "fusion" system that requires players to combine items from previous puzzles to unlock new ones.

- “The gimmick of having to fuse items from older puzzles to unlock new puzzles was incredibly tedious to me.”
- “If you enjoy picross, I'm sure you'll like [i]logiart grimoire[/i] - if you're an expert, the harder puzzles here might be a real challenge for you with no hints on, but also grinding to unlock them might not be worth your time; quality product though.”
